Past Clubs offered at MUMS
This is a list of some of the clubs that have been held at MUMS in the past. MUMS offers a variety of activities throughout the year and some of these clubs may return for the 2024-2025 school year. New clubs may be formed depending upon the interests of the students and the availability of leaders.
Compost Club
The MUMS Compost Club is focusing on developing environmentally proactive strategies to promote bee populations. Together, we will develop plans to build a bee-friendly garden on the MUMS grounds. Composting school-wide practices will still be a part of this club as we will continue to collect data on the efficiency of our composting system and make adjustments based on our conclusions.
Creative Writing
Do you love to write? The MUMS Creative Writing Club is for all interested, passionate writers who want an artistic outlet after school. We write together, discuss our writing and others’ writing, talk about authors we admire, and share our ideas in a supportive, fun, and stimulating environment. Once a quarter, we have an evening authors’ reading at a venue to celebrate our writing.
Unified Basketball, Bocce and Soccer
Advisor: Justin Martelle
Unified clubs are affiliated with Special Olympics Vermont. We have 10-15 practices that take place during the Adapted Physical Education class and at the end of the season compete at a Special Olympics Unified Tournament. Unified sports are geared toward students with an intellectual or physical disability that prevents them from fully participating on a traditional sport team. The club’s focus is to encourage physical, social, and psychological development within each athlete through successful sport experiences.
“Through successful experiences in sports, our athletes gain confidence and build positive self-images, which follow with them into their homes, classrooms, jobs, and communities.” -Special Olympics Vermont
